"We have AppleTalk, it works fine for what it does, but we have to move everything to TCP/IP." -- Avie Tevanian, from the Computer History Museum live stream event today.

@kalleboo@bitbang.social Capturing the evolution and not just the final outcome was a brilliant idea!

@btr@social.cpp.org.pl I think I get it. With atalkvpn listening on your external IP (standard port-forwarding) and from remotely, you also use atalkvpn to connect to that external IP -- is my understanding correct?
So it's a personal tunnel (atalkvpn) independent of the IP tunnels used by AIR/jrouter. But you're connecting them all with tashrouter so you would still be able to reach GlobalTalk servers from remote.

@btr@social.cpp.org.pl Do tell us more. I thought the core concept behind #globaltalk is using Apple Internet Router's (AIR's) IP tunnel feature. Is avpn compatible with AIR's IP tunnel protocol or do you have to run avpn on both ends?

@vga256 There's a seller on eBay (EU) for one of those adapters taking a CR2032 coin battery. I'm sure a CR2032 won't last as long, but it's at least an alternative to those NeXT batteries.

@dmark@hachyderm.io I should have looked at the forks. Is your fork more up to date, and that's where I should have started browsing?

@theirongiant@hachyderm.io I was doing this last week and their wiki page on compiling from source mentions all the required dependencies on several distributions https://netatalk.io/compilation.html
